Its use as an intensifier dates back to the 1700s, and only since the early 20th century has its use as an intensifier been controversial

Yup. And sometimes bad means bad and bad means good, but bad still means bad in the dictionary so unless I'm in an casual discussion where slang is acceptable, bad still means bad.

Unlike literally which is now defined as literally or figuratively in the dictionary as of 2013.

According to Merriam-Webster they included its non-literal use in their dictionary since at least 1909.

Well I went back to the Merriam Webster page from 2010 and all the news articles from 2013 about changing the definition of literally are objectively bullshit, so I was wrong.
